We present a new technique for constructing a sweep surface using two-parameter motion. Firstly, a new rational B-spline motion with two parameters is introduced, which is obtained by extending its orientation curve and scaling curve to surface counterparts. A sweep surface is then defined by a single vertex v under the two-parameter motion and allows to represent different u-directional iso-curves depending on parameter ${\upsilon}$. Efficient techniques for modeling and editing the surface are achieved by intuitively controlling the two-parameter motion. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique with experimental results on modeling and editing a 3D propeller model.

Developed in this research is a surface modeling kernel for various CAD/CAM applications. Its internal surface representations are rational parametric polynomials, which are generalizations of nonrational Bezier, Ferguson, Coons and NURBS surface, and are very fast in evaluation. The kernel is designed under the OOP concepts and coded in C++ on PCs. The present implementation of the kernel supports surface construction methods, such as point data interpolation, skinning, sweeping and blending. It also has NURBS conversion routines and offers the IGES and ZES format for geometric information exchange. It includes some geometric processing routines, such as surface/surface intersection, curve/surface intersection, curve projection and so forth. We are continuing to work with the kernel and eventually develop a B-Rep based solid modeler.

In parametric surface interpolation, the choice of the parameter values to the set of scattered points makes a great deal of difference in the resulting surface. A new method is developed and tested for the parametrization in NURBS surface global interpolation. This method uses the parameter value at the maximal value of relevant rational basis function, to assign the parameter values to the arbitrary set of design data. This method gives us several important advantages in geometric modeling, the freedom of the selection of knot values, the feasible transformation of the data set to the matrix, the possibility of affinite transformation between the design data and generated surface, etc.

For a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety, it is a classical problem to study the defining equations of a variety with respect to the given embedding. In this paper we precisely determine the defining equations of certain types of rational curves in ${\mathbb{P}}^3$.

In this paper, we define for a component $X_{0}$ of a nonsingular compact real algebraic surface X the complex genus of $X_{0}$, denoted by gc($X_{0}$), and use this to prove the nonexistence of nonzero degree entire rational maps f : $X_{0}$ Y provided that gc(Y) > gc($X_{0}$), analogously to the topological category. We construct connected real surfaces of arbitrary topological genus with zero complex genus.

The purpose of this paper is to assign a movable frame to an arbitrary point of a rational Bézier curve on the 2-sphere S2 in Euclidean 3-space R3 to provide a better understanding of the geometry of the curve. Especially, we obtain the formula of geodesic curvature for a quadratic rational Bézier curve that allows a curve to be characterized on the surface. Moreover, we give some important results and relations for the Darboux frame and geodesic curvature of a such curve. Then, in specific case, given characterizations for the quadratic rational Bézier curve are illustrated on a unit 2-sphere.

A fast and robust method of grid generation to multiple functions has been developed for flow analysis in three dimensional space. It is based on the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline(NURBS) of an approximation method. Many of NURBS intrinsic properties are introduced and much more easily understood. The grid generation method, details of numerical implementation. examples of application, and potential extensions of the current method are illustrated in this paper. The object of this study is to develop the surface grid generation and the grid cluster techniques capable of resolving complex flows with shock waves, expansion waves, shear layers. The knot insert method of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline seems well worked. In addition, NURBS has been widely utilized to generate grids in the computational fluid dynamics community. Computational examples associated with practical configurations have shown the utilization of the algorithm.

In this article, we associate a contact structure to the conjugacy class of a periodic surface homeomorphism, encoded by a combinatorial tuple of integers called a marked data set. In particular, we prove that infinite families of these data sets give rise to Stein fillable contact structures with associated monodromies that do not factor into products to positive Dehn twists. In addition to the above, we give explicit constructions of symplectic fillings for rational open books analogous to Mori's construction for honest open books. We also prove a sufficient condition for the Stein fillability of rational open books analogous to the positivity of monodromy for honest open books due to Giroux and Loi-Piergallini.

Let S be a minimal surface of general type with $p_g(S)=q(S)=0$ having an involution ${\sigma}$ over the field of complex numbers. It is well known that if the bicanonical map ${\varphi}$ of S is composed with ${\sigma}$, then the minimal resolution W of the quotient $S/{\sigma}$ is rational or birational to an Enriques surface. In this paper we prove that the surface W of S with $K^2_S=5,6,7,8$ having an involution ${\sigma}$ with which the bicanonical map ${\varphi}$ of S is composed is rational. This result applies in part to surfaces S with $K^2_S=5$ for which ${\varphi}$ has degree 4 and is composed with an involution ${\sigma}$. Also we list the examples available in the literature for the given $K^2_S$ and the degree of ${\varphi}$.

As the sequel to our previous work [4], we construct a minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$, $K^2=3$ and $H_1$ = $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ by using a rational blow-down surgery and $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing the-ory.
